WWE Championship - Punjabi Prison Match
Jinder Mahal (C) vs Randy Orton
Winner: Jinder Mahal
Comments: The Jinder experiment needs to end, but putting the belt back on Orton isn't the solution. He might be more talented and more popular, but he's not someone fans want to see in the main event at the moment either and he would represent a step backwards. Jinder wins through cheating and hopefully he can drop the belt in his next feud.
WWE SD Tag Team Championships:
The Usos (c) vs The New Day
Winners: The Usos
Comments: New Day will probably win the titles soon, but it would be better if they make the team work for it for a while longer. Their last reign was so long, it's refreshing to see them on the chase instead. Usos should win here as they already did the bullshit New Day win last time to avoid a title change.
WWE US Championship:
AJ Styles(c) vs Kevin Owens
Winner: AJ Styles
Comments: This could go either way really. But after Styles teasing a return of the US Open Challenge, I think it would be a missed opportunity to have him lose the title back to Owens here. Unless they're planning on catapulting Styles back to the main event where he rightfully belongs
Flag Match
John Cena vs Rusev
Winner: John Cena
Comments: Americans don't lose flag matches.
WWE Women's Championship #1 Contender
Natalya vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte vs Tamina vs Lana
Winner: Natalya
Eliminations (first to last): Lana, Tamina, Becky, Charlotte
Comments: Given Naomi is still champion, it makes sense to me to have a heel win this match. Only one of these heels can give her a good match. So hopefully that person will be the winner. Would love to see Becky win though - she's my favourite female performer on Smackdown and never gets enough credit.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Baron Corbin
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
Comments: I feel like this one could go either way again. But WWE booking would suggest Corbin loses because he still has the briefcase to keep him credible. Plus, this might be the match with the shitty finish - Corbin could get himself counted out or disqualified
Sami Zayn vs Mike Kanellis
Winner: Mike Kanellis
Comments: I wouldn't be surprised by a quick roll up win for Zayn here, but I think the main goal is going to be to get Kanellis over. So I'll go with him to win this one.
Tye Dillinger vs Aiden English
Winner: Tye Dillinger
Comments: English is a jobber right now, so I won't be picking him to win anything any time soon.
